Mother Night Chapter 41 Summary

Chemicals…

  • Campbell walks back to his apartment and imagines himself a lightning bug due to his smoking. The world is filled with lightning bugs.
  • Campbell gets to the apartment building, and it's dark, with the exception of one lightning bug providing light: Dr. Epstein.
  • Campbell is stopped by a friendly and curious patrol officer who wants to confirm that Campbell is the reason for the earlier ruckus.
  • The officer also wants to share his theory of everything with Campbell. That theory is: chemicals.
  • Chemicals make people cray. Or not. Depending on their use.
  • The officer may go back to school to study chemicals.
